connections on port 1433?
Root > Virtual Dedicated Server VDS > SQL Server VDS
The following article explains how to allow SQL Server Express to accept remote connections over TCP/IP for port 1433. By
default, when SQL Server Express is installed it gerates a random port to listen on. In addition, SQL Server Express only
listens for connection on localhost. Using the SQL Server Configuration Manager, you will need to tell SQL Server Express
to use port 1433.
